pedicure - 06:11 PM
(filed under 'bahrain')
i had my frist ever pedicure this afternoon. it was interesting & somewhat scary. the scary bit was when she loaded a really sharp looking little blade into a contraption that she then scraped along my heels & the balls of my feet. thank god that thing didn't come loose!
i felt i needed one because not only were the soles of my feet stained almost black from walking around inside with no shoes (it's too dirty & dusty outside to wear shoes inside. i really must get a pair of slippers for in the house) where the floors get dirty really quickly from all the dust outside, but my heels were really cracked & i'd developed super thick callouses on the bottoms of my feet.
i know the bottom of your feet are meant to be tough, but seriously, my feet were looking as though they belonged to a barefoot construction worker .. albeit a barefoot contruction worker with very small feet.
i've never had cracked heels before i started wearing open shoes all the time. in summer in bahrain it's simply too hot to wear closed in shoes. i'm a boot wearing girl myself (at least, i was previously) so my feet had never really seen all that much open air, especially such hot, humid & dusty open air.
i wondered if it was just me, but no, from talking to a few other ladies around here, it's an open shoe issue. i might start having to put some papaw ointment on my feet at night to stop them getting so bad again.
these things don't usually worry me at all, except that they were getting so cracked that chunks of dead skin were breaking off. it was kind of gross & not good if i then tried to remove the chunks by pulling them off. ouch!
the main reason i wanted them to look better, though, is because i'm wearing some lovely strappy heels for my mum's wedding. it's a big occasion for her. i want to present myself in a nice manner .. all the way down to my feet.
I love the outfit!. You have great taste!. You'll have to show us the finished result! ( a pic of you!)
Why not grab some Eulactol while you're here. Then just put it on after your shower each night and wear cotton socks to bed!! Nothing worse then cracked heel!

i've spent most of my life barefoot. i hate shoes. so the bottom of my feet are like leather. its okay until the skin cracks. painful until it heals. so, yeah, keep it soft if you can.
